Fodor's Expert Review La Vela Latina Beach Bar

Samara

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

This is the best spot around for grown-up soft music and cocktails on the beach at sunset, especially with two-for-one drinks from 5 to 7 pm. Tables and chairs spill out onto the sand, under palms and almond trees strung with ropes of lights. The soundtrack is more jazzy than rap-driven.You can order sushi and Thai dishes along with your cocktails. It's a good late-night option for nightcaps, since it's open until midnight.
